Testimonials

“When my family and I began to plan our relocation to North Carolina from another country, I did my research on schools in Charlotte for my youngest daughter. I called a few schools to get information. Friendship Day School was one of the schools that appeared in my search and I telephoned the school. The head of school answered the phone and we talked for what seemed like hours. I felt the warmth and she was very informative. I was very impressed and excited. I could not wait to come to Charlotte to view Friendship Day School.”

“Seeing my child actively participating in online classes has given me a whole new level of appreciation for the work these talented educators do each day. The growth I’ve seen in my son is amazing!” – 1st Grade Parent

“My son enrolled at FDS as a first grader. Within a few weeks we saw his confidence drastically increase and he gained an exuberant enthusiasm for learning. He was excited to go to school each morning and I was confident that his teachers truly cared about him. This school is truly transformative. What really draws our family to FDS is the commitment the school has for our children to be excellent while also placing emphasis on being knowledgeable about African American history. This instills a level of pride that you cannot find at any other school in the greater Charlotte area. The administration, teachers, staff, and parents are family and our children are better because of it!” – 2nd Grade Parent

“I met the staff, who welcomed my family with opened arms. We viewed a few schools and decided on Friendship Day School. My first impression of Friendship Day School from just a telephone miles away was impressive.”

“My daughter began kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Spears worked very well with her. Mrs. Spears communicated with me throughout the entire school year and the growth in my daughter’s education was very visible. My daughter is currently in first grade and her teacher Ms. Chase has been instrumental in my daughter’s growth as well.”

“At Friendship Day School, the teachers and curriculum are commendable. I am very pleased with the loving, caring, and safe environment. As an FDS parent, I would highly recommend FDS. If you are interested in your child’s development as a well-rounded individual, then FDS will not disappoint!”

“I feel the commitment to our scholars is amazing. The teachers are still caring, attentive, and passionate about serving our scholars. They inspire me.” –3rd Grade Parent
